A home on the Northshore was heavily damaged in an early-morning fire Friday.

The fire left the family homeless.

The blaze was reported about 4:30 a.m. in the 76000 block of Carol Drive in the Lake Ramsey community.

Four fire engines, a tanker truck and rescue unit responded to the fire. The blaze was under control just before 5 a.m.

No one was home at the time of the fire and no injuries were reported.

Investigators said the homeowner was at work when the fire broke out but returned to the residence after the scene was under control. Two other family members, ages 22 and 2, also live inside the home, but were away, firefighters said.
